I am having a hard time with this waitlist thing and just wanted to hear how everybody is handling theirs.I have a snowball's chance of getting in off my waitlist (hundreds of people with higher numbers before me) so it is particularly ridiculous that it is haunting me to this extent.

I am in the middle of packing up and selling my house (in the town where my waitlist school is located) and it's like I am moving through concrete.

I love the school I am committed to, but the waitlist thing is really weighing on me.

In at UF, WL at Tulane (WTF?!?). Full price so far on both. I can't decide if I should stay on the waitlist, or just bag it.

I am aiming at becoming a public defender after graduation, so debt is a big deal, however LRAP from the school and the Feds will help out.

I would love to live and work in either Miami/ West Palm (where I have some job connections) or NOLA (where I do not have connections).

Obviously, UF is much cheaper. For clinical opportunities however, I will have to get out of Gainsville. I can do the regular PD thing there, but really would love to do some capital case stuff. Tulane crushes UF in this respect, and it is a big consideration since the jobs that I am aiming for love to see lots of clinical experience.

Barring a miracle the size of the second coming, these are my choices. Should I stay on the waitlist at Tulane? If I get off, should I go?

One last variable, I have a SO who really does not like Gainesville. Frankly, I am not really making a choice based on his preferences, for various reasons which I won't go into, but NOLA definitely appeals to him. I feel the same way. Love New Orleans, not so pumped about Gainesville.

Lastly, if I decide to work in Miami, I have a feeling UF places better than Tulane. Discuss.

A section devoted to things like wheel chair access, accommodation, etc. might be really helpful. A lot of schools are not fully accessible, so a sticky for wheelchair access might garner a lot of detailed info.

Maybe call it Accomodation and Access? Trying to avoid the "Disabled Students Board" moniker.

Wow, this is starting to get kinda ugly for me. I've heard from one school, University of Miami, out of eight. Miami just sent out an email stating that the seat deposit must be in the mail April 7 (if using regular mail) or April 11 (FedEx. etc.). That is, of course, prior to many schools anticipated April 15th reply date. "No exceptions" is made very clear in the Miami email.

Speaking as someone who doesn't have a penny to burn, let alone $500, it certainly seems like this whole admissions system is poorly designed. At least, if you actually care about students.
